Parameter definition

ID of a CURVE or FUNCTION $f_1$ defining the thermal body load versus time (power/unit volume)

$sf$

Curve scale factor

default: 1

$t_{beg}$

Start time

$t_{end}$

End time

default: 1.0e20

cid${}_2$

ID of an optional CURVE or FUNCTION $f_2$ defining the total thermal body load versus time (power)

Description

This command is used to apply a thermal body load (power per unit volume).

$f_2$ is an optional CURVE or FUNCTION describing the exact total power
of the heat source. It is needed in situations where the heat source described by $f_1$ (power/unit volume)
is partially outside the body where the energy is to be deposited. The magnitude of $f_1$ is
then scaled with a factor $\alpha$ in order to match the specified total power in $f_2$.
